Intimum

I used to like the sun

Believing I was perfect

But the light only creates shadows

I’m afraid of shadows

I’m afraid of myself

The dark side of myself

Of my mind

Of my soul

Nothing is as bright as it seems

But I am chasing the sun

To get some of the light

I want to feel perfect 

Just once…
